A very scare Union's long discontinued kit of the
SSRN Seaview from the TV Series Voyage to the Bottom
of the Sea. This kit was one of the rare kits available
before Polar Lights reissued the Aurora model. The main
feature of this kit was the detachable FS-1 or Flying
Sub. A small Flying Sub fits into the hangar recess of
the bow and you can "launch" it.
The kit also included a smaller scale bonus version of
the Seaview which was rubber band powered for water
play. The kit has aged and the rubber band has
since given up the ghost (What do you expect for a
17 year old classic!). As you can see all the
parts are here, though a couple are off the trees.
Decal stickers too! This is a rare find and a
wonderful addition to any kit collection. Great
for VTTBOTS collectors and obscure kit collectors!
Value: $300-Up.
